<br/><br/> The study, Development of Wood Vinegar Machine, aims to develop a Wood Vinegar<br/>Machine that will make a wood vinegar in less tar that can use as an organic fertilizer and<br/>pesticides. The machine is composed of two processes. The first process is the pyrolysis<br/>process. This process is made up of a chamber with a length of 1 meter, 1.5 meters in height<br/>and 1 meter of width. The kiln with a diameter of 0.6 meter absorbs heat when burning of<br/>woods happens in the firewood storage. This process enables the extraction of wood which<br/>produces smoke. The second process is the condensation process wherein the valve<br/>actuator operates beyond 80 to 120 degrees Celsius upon collecting the smoke, while<br/>condenser helps to condensate the passing vapour faster. Test results had shown that the<br/>machine could produce a minimum of 200 ml wood vinegar within 3 to 4 hours. The use<br/>of valve actuator decreases the tar content upon collecting the smoke beyond 80 to 120<br/>degrees Celsius. The prototype is presented to thirty (30) evaluators to determine its<br/>performance. The performance of machine is evaluated by 30 evaluators and obtained the<br/>mean score of 4.53 which means Excellent. This concludes that the wood vinegar machine<br/>had managed to increase the effectiveness of wood vinegar and the use of stainless steel<br/>that have a high corrosion resistance which prevents contamination and improves the<br/>quality of the machine.
